Perma-single Amy Clarke prides herself on three things: her pink hair, her Converse collection, and her ability to drink copious amounts of margarita without puking. She isn’t looking for love. She’s perfectly content with her simultaneous love affairs with Netflix and both Ben and Jerry. The trouble is, sometimes, love finds you.Five months ago, he climbed aboard her train, and nothing has been … nothing has been the same since. Fast-forward to now, she still doesn’t know his name, but she knows she wants his babies.
Her crush–this tall, dark, and handsome dork who gets on her train every other Monday–has no idea he brightens her day with his panty-wetting smile and laugh that makes her pulse quicken.
When a chance encounter outside of work forces them to have their first proper conversation, things quickly go from loving him from afar to up close and very personal. With a string of disastrous exes in her past, has Amy finally found her Mr Perfect? Or does fate have other plans?
A new stand-alone romcom from Kirsty Moseley, best-selling author of The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window and Nothing Left to Lose.

I received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntarily, honest review of it.
From the first time that I read the blurb of ‘Man crush Monday’, I was immediately intrigued by it and couldn’t wait to read it. So when I won an ARC of it, I was very excited about that!!! But I was also a bit anxious because my expectations for this story were very high and I knew it but to my delight this story was everything I hoped for and more!
This story brought a smile on my face from the first page that I read and it stayed there for a very long time. But the more I read, the more I got the feeling that it was all going to smooth, to easy and I was right! The writer had a surprise hidden, something that made that the story went from funny to emotional (but don’t worry it’s an exciting and interesting surprise) but it’s something that forced Amy to look at her man crush Monday in a different way and to question her feelings for him.
I won’t tell you more but I can tell you that I was super happy with the way that the story ended!! It had the ending that I hoped for.
So ‘Man Crush Monday’ is much more than just a funny story, it also has an emotional side. It’s told from Amy’s POV. Amy is a great character. She’s cute, quirky, extrovert and just lovely and her secret crush is also a great character, thoughtful, dependable and caring. I really enjoyed the interaction between them. The second characters are also very entertaining, especially Amy’s mother and her nanny.
The writer Kirsty Moseley wrote a lovely story and I will definitely re-read it in the future.
I have been impatiently waiting for Kirsty’s next book, and I’m so happy to say I was not disappointed (for the record, I didn’t think I would be). I adored Amy and Jared, loved them so very very much, they were cute, loving, fun, sexy and the ultimate couple. I loved their story. Crushing on the train, the accidental meeting, the instant attraction. So many funny moments, sexy times and such a sweet story, I was in bliss, and then, BAM, curveball. What’s a story without a little drama? Just wonderful and so funny with characters that I could truly relate to. Amy especially, she was just the right amount of quirky, I loved that she wasn’t size 4 super model material, she was a real life girl with real life insecurities. Oh, and let’s not forget her mum and grandma, I loved them. Then we’ve got sexy as sin Jared, I fell in love instantly. Fun, flirty and a little emotional, Kirsty really nailed it. I loved it, I was addicted from the first page. I received an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest review.
„Up until five months ago, I was a normal Monday hater, just like everyone else, but then something happened. He happened.”
Adorably sweet, incredibly funny and totally astounding! Man Crush Monday is such an original and captivating story that’s completely unputdownable. I devoured this book. Kirsty Moseley has created remarkable and wonderful storyline, filled with wit and cuteness, but it also has an emotional depth that left me almost in tears. This fabulous book gives all the feels- it’ll make you laugh, it’ll make your chin wobble and it’ll make your heart burst from happiness!
I have the biggest girl-crush on Amy. This girl is funny, sweet and quirky. Even though she doesn’t think so much about herself, she’s the most unique woman ever. I had the time of my life when she let out her unfiltered thoughts. At first she seems to be a little shy, but as soon as she feels comfortable she’s the person in whose company you want to be all the time!
Jared had my heart from the get go. He has his little quirks and he’s strict with his work ethic, but at the same time he’s so charming and wonderful! I loved his thoughtfulness and his kind heart. Although on the paper he looks like a total mismatch to Amy, he completes her beautifully.
These two have an electrifying chemistry and despite the differences they fit like the missing pieces of puzzle. Their passion was so palpable that I was seriously worried that my Kindle will melt from all the hotness! And just when you think you have it all sorted out and that HEA is just around the corner, the author throws such a mindblowing plot-twist that your jaw hits the floor. This unexpected turn of events was such an emotional punch that I couldn’t wrap my head around it!
Do yourself a favor and grab this book as soon as it’s live. Kirsty Moseley has written romance GOLD. Man Crush Monday is a perfect mix of hilarious rom-com and heartwarming contemporary romance. You will laugh and swoon and blush. The characters are fabulous and the story itself is one-of-a-kind. I loved it with my whole heart!
PS.
I really REALLY hope that we’ll get Theo’s book! I need his HEA like Amy needs carbs!
Man Crush Monday is hands down the best contemporary romance with rom-com vibes, I’ve recently read. Kirsty Moseley created beautiful story about how fate can be twisted and how love can play tricks with us or that we can’t take every day for granted.
Kirsty Moseley has amazing style of writing and has that magical spark which pulls you in so deep that there is no way you will be able to walk away once you start to read this book. It will hit that right spot in your heart.
I purposely won’t tell you about main hero in this story ( but trust me, he is swoon worth hottie), I want everyone to have the same book experience as I had.
But I can tell you about the heroine, Amy who I totally adore. She was pure hearted, pink haired convers girl with charismatic attitude. Funny, honest with no head to mouth filter. She was quircky girl who liked Netflix and Margarita Thursdays with her best friend. For almost five months she’s a crush into man from her train and she couldn’t find a courage to even talk to him. Under accidental events the whole story begins.
From the first page I was drown into Amy and her crush romance, but nothing prepared me for the story hidden in this book.
MCM got my cheeks to hurt to the point that I was laughing out loud to myself, unpredictable plot made me constantly wonder where author is heading with the story.
I’ve experienced so many emotions during the reading. First part was full of heart-warming feelings and I was melting over its romantic part but then suddenly boom, author dropped a huge twist in the story, that my eyes widen and jaw dropped on the floor. But that wasn’t even the end of that story, because there was more what author holds for us. It was one of those novels which I didn’t want the get to the end but was so curious what’s waiting for me next.
Man Crush Monday is totally standalone book with no cliffhanger but be prepare for a huge hangover after you read it.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much i enjoyed this book!! Fun, sexy, romance that was a pure joy from beginning to end, mixed in with little bouts of ugly crying !!!
Amy Clarke is a girl who knows what she wants, but doesn’t always have the confidence to go after it!! She’s a down to earth girl with a down to earth job as a Train Conductor, but she loves her job even more on a Monday because hell there is a hot hot guy that she’s deffo crushing wildly on and she see’s him on that day !!!
She spends her days fantasising about him and it all goes to pot when she bumps into him at a coffee shop.. out of work !!! OMG their meeting just had me giggling, Amy’s blushing verbal blunders had me in fits but it only keeps getting better !!
OMG If Jared doesn’t make it to your top book boyfriends i dunno who would ! He’s perfect, yet he’s the opposite of what Any expected, he’s so much more, he makes her feel so much more !!! Sexiness just oozes out of him, and their relationship goes from strength, but Kirsty Moseley is sneaky!! She gets you all loved up yet you just feel and dread that their perfect lusty love filled bubble is going to burst !!
Yeah This book will also bring you tears, but it restores you faith in love and humour!! I loved that this was ordinary people, with ordinary jobs and families, and they fell in love … I’m still swooning !!!
Kristy Moseley has hit all the right spots, and even with the humour you quickly become emotional involved and are rooting for both Jared and Amy !!!!
